Question

Once my sister became very ill. Then my mother accepted a goat at Shahjalal's shrine. The sister later recovered. But Mar's vow has not yet been fulfilled. I want to know what we should do now. Is there any sin due to delay? 7865787592

‘Mannat’ is an act of worship. Prayers, fasting, and supplication are acts of worship, which must be done for the sole purpose of pleasing Allah. Similarly, a vow must be in the name of Allah alone. It is shirk to make a vow for the purpose of a shrine, a pir or a creation or for its own satisfaction. So it is completely illegal to accept goats for the shrine. Shirk has taken place. It is important to refrain from this. Therefore, it will not be permissible to give goats in a shrine or any other shrine. In addition, one has to repent and seek forgiveness in the court of Allah due to the intention of giving to the shrine. Sunan Abu Daud 2/479; Raddul Muhtar 2/439; Fatawa Hindi 2/6; Almugani, Ibn Kudama 13/743 It is revealed that no creature, ali-pir or shrine dweller can fulfill any need of anyone. Can't heal anyone. Healing, removing calamity are the only characteristics of Allah. It is shirk to think that any creature has this feature. If you make a vow at the shrine, you will be happy. The idea that the disease will get better is completely shirk. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): If Allaah wants to inflict any hardship on you, there is no one who can deny it except Him. And if He wants to give any good, then there is no one to take away His grace. He bestows His Grace on whom He wills of His servants. He is the Forgiving, the Most Merciful. - Surah Yunus: 108 7596371195
